Backgrounds & Props
HiLite
The HiLite backgrounds range allows the photographer to work in a way that was extremely difficult to achieve in the past, ‘High Key’ photography on location and in restrictive spaces. By rear lighting the white background itself there is no longer a need to use a background light behind the subject. Furthermore, because the background is actually illuminated it means the subject can stand virtually right in front of it without casting a shadow. The HiLite backgrounds also works as a large rear softbox and illuminates the subject as well, meaning you can use just one other flash head to light the subject from the front. What’s more, the whole thing is collapsible.
To fold a HiLite quickly remember to do the MACKARANER or how ever you spell it
Corner in the belly,
Arms along the sides to create a Pringle Shape
Then right arm to left shoulder,
Then left arm to right shoulder
And let it drop to the floor.
If you have the room don’t waste your money on any thing else

Cubelite Studio
The Studio Cubelite Features is the ultimate solution for product photography and takes our
highly successful CubeliteTM concept even further. It allows for control of the light from
below and all other directions allowing the photographer to give products that floating
look with no shadows if desired. The tensioned diffuser fabric means the reflections on
even the most reflective surface are kept to an absolute minimum, whilst the generous
front opening can be closed to mask reflections from the camera/operator as well. The
patented design also allows you to control the light from underneath by pointing the
source up or down into the base unit giving different light distribution effects and
creating graduated backgrounds if required.

Lite Tables

The Lastolite still life table “LiteTable” will revolutionize your product photography with its Features
ease of use and light control. It can be assembled in minutes (without the use of any
screws, bolts or allen keys!) and folds flat into a handy carry case when not in use,
making it ideal for occasional use and location work. The unique patented design allows
the photographer to control the light distribution underneath the table by positioning the
light in different ways, creating graduated backgrounds or a completely even tone. With
gels the creative possibilities are endless. Many of these techniques have previously
been difficult with conventional light tables as they have open sides underneath.
Available in two sizes 70cm and 100cm
